May I add a few words to Betty-Jo Irvine’s tribute to Wolfgang Feitag.

It is very sad to hear of Wolfgang’s passing, he was one of the bulwarks of our profession; indeed, the fact that we can talk of the profession of ‘art librarian’, let alone enjoy an art libraries society owes so much to him. He was the scholar art librarian who articulated the specifics of the profession in print, in practice and in person. He gave us standards, structure, dignity. He was a genial authority, a great friend, an insightful thinker, and a serious, humorous, avuncular man. We were lucky to enjoy his presence in North American and international gatherings of art librarians for so many years.
One memory persists: Wolfgang and Doris dancing to Cajun fiddlers in New Orleans.
